Chichén Itza – Yucatán, Mexico

The ancient Maya city of Chichén Itzá was recently inducted as one of the New 7 Wonders of the World. In 2007 our team, in association with CyArk, created a complete digital database of El Caracol, one of the oldest standing observatories in the Americas.

The project also involved laser scanning of other important structures at the site, including El Castillo, the Temple of Warriors, Osario, the Grand Ball Court, the Venus Platform, and the Nunnery. GLG laser scans from Chichén Itza are currently featured in a full-dome planetarium movie “Tales of the Maya Skies” at the Chabot Space & Science Center in San Francisco.
